Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to naturally rejuvenate the skin by creating microchannels that stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process can help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture. As your skin begins to heal, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant. Whether targeting the face, neck, or other areas, microneedling is a safe and effective option when performed by a skilled practitioner. Results can vary, so a personalized consultation is the best way to see if microneedling is right for your skin goals.
| About Microneedling
What It Is
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin. It may improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall texture. While commonly performed on the face, microneedling can also be used on the neck, chest, scalp, or other areas in need of rejuvenation.
How It Works
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses fine, medical-grade needles to create thousands of tiny microchannels in the skin’s surface. This controlled injury stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—proteins essential for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful skin.
There are a few different methods of microneedling, each designed to target specific skin concerns and depths:
Traditional Microneedling: This technique uses a handheld device with adjustable needle depths to glide across the skin, creating precise micro-injuries. It’s commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin tone and texture. The treatment is minimally invasive and typically requires little downtime.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Also known as the “vampire facial,” this method combines traditional microneedling with your body’s own growth factors, derived from a small blood sample. The PRP is applied during or after the microneedling process to further enhance healing, boost collagen production, and accelerate visible results.
What To Expect
During a microneedling session, a trained professional will use a specialized device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries across the skin’s surface. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may feel mild discomfort, which can be minimized with a topical numbing cream applied beforehand.
After the session, it's common to experience mild redness, sensitivity, or a sunburn-like feeling, which usually subsides within 24 to 72 hours. While downtime is minimal, it’s best to avoid sun exposure, makeup, and active skincare ingredients for the first couple of days to support optimal recovery and results
FAQs
-
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a light prickling or vibration. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort during the treatment. Sensitive areas may feel slightly more tender, but the procedure is not considered painful.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24 to 72 hours. Some clients notice slight flaking or dryness a few days post-treatment as the skin renews. Most people return to normal activities the next day, though it’s best to avoid sun exposure and makeup for the first 24–48 hours.
-
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases over several weeks. Many clients begin to notice improvements in skin texture and tone within 1–2 weeks. A series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal, longer-lasting results. Maintenance sessions every few months can help preserve results.
-
Side effects are typically mild and temporary. These may include redness, swelling, dryness, pinpoint bleeding, or light bruising. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Following aftercare instructions—such as avoiding active skincare products and direct sun—is key to minimizing irritation and enhancing results.
-
Before your session, your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream applied for comfort. After the treatment, expect some redness and warmth. It’s important to avoid sun exposure, heavy exercise, and active ingredients (like retinoids or acids) for 24–72 hours post-treatment. We’ll provide specific aftercare guidance tailored to your skin.
-
Microneedling is ideal for those looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, minimize acne scars, or shrink pores. It’s safe for most skin types and tones. However, it may not be recommended if you have active acne, eczema, rosacea, or certain medical conditions. A consultation will help determine if it’s the right fit for your skin goals.
